Well now, a chart that some believing Darwinist professor drew up. Yep, you got me there, man came from an ape. All the proof I need.
I post some of the extensive scientific data supporting evolution and you just wave it away.
It seems you already made up your mind on this issue, and no longer are willing to even consider the evidence. And I suspect you have never actually studied it, for fear of what you might learn...
Heinlein noted this phenomenon some years ago:
Belief gets in the way of learning.Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough for Love, 1973
Fish hawk, your input is sorely needed!
Which of the following are "just an old ape" and which are "just an old human"? Try it, it's fun!

We know that A) is a modern chimpanzee and N) is a modern human. Everyone agrees that M) was a modern human as well. Your challenge is to fill in these blanks:

Newsflash: Humans *are* apes (a.k.a. "members of the primate superfamily Hominoidea").
There, you learned some science today.
